Thank you for joining the conversation

February 7, 2013

We’ve had a brilliant
response to our latest burst of Time to Change advertising. We want to thank
you for joining the conversation and helping us to get out the message that you
don’t need to be an expert to talk about mental health – together we’ve reached
a lot of people!

Impact

The new TV advert
which launched on Monday 14 January has drawn thousands of people to the Time
to Change website to pledge and find out more.

More than 46,000
people visited the Time to Change website in the first week of the advertising –
that’s nearly five times more than usual!

We’ve gained
more than 3,000 new Twitter followers since the advertising launched.

One thousand
people signed our pledge wall in the first three days of the advertising.

You’ve also helped us to
start lots of conversations on social media by sharing our messages. And some
of you have written brilliant blogs
for us about your own experiences.

What you thought

Here are some of the tweets and
comments we’ve had in response to the adverts:

“Great ad about time people realised
they don’t have to suffer in silence”

“Do you have
a mental illness? I do. And inspired by @TimetoChange’s #TimeToTalk
campaign I am going to stop hiding it and start being open.”

“@TimetoChange Guess what?! A friend of mine talked
to me about #mentalillness for the first time today thanks to your latest ad.
#whatstigma”

“Posted
this on my daughters wall as she supports me through my bipolar and didn't want
her to feel alone so thank you x”
